🔥 🔥 🔥

Does anyone miss Towny? I do, I miss the good old towny but I have also always felt like towny could be so much more. For too long now I have had this idea I have not yet pursued for a Minecraft server where one player could be King or Queen of the entire server. I have always wondered how this would work. How could we make a server where players create the role-play themselves and allow them to climb the levers of power, who doesn’t love UNLIMiITEeD PoOWErRR? However, we want to make sure it is still Minecraft and for those who don’t want their bases ruined or be in the middle of PvP, we also want to cater to them.
